The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (‘CRPD’) is the first international human rights treaty to recognize rights specifically for disabled people. It has been heralded as revolutionary in creating a ‘paradigm shift’ in how disability is understood within law. The CRPD moves away from a medical model of disability (which focuses on the individual’s limitations) to a social model of disability (which focuses on social barriers and how they can be alleviated to better promote the rights of disabled people.) Nilsson rightly points out that much of the originality of the CRPD’s approach rests with its focus on equal treatment and non-discrimination (pp 12–14). One of the areas in which disabled people are still discriminated against is in the context of compulsory mental health treatment. The presence of a psychosocial disability is still used in the majority of domestic mental health laws to justify compulsion. This includes where an individual is refusing treatment a professional believes they require and the person either lacks decision making ability, or there is a risk of self harm, harm to others, serious deterioration in health or a combination of these factors (pp 45–49). Therefore, one of the questions dominating CRPD implementation is if and when compulsory treatment is justified under the CRPD.

《残疾人权利公约》（“CRPD”）是第一个专门承认残疾人权利的国际人权条约。它被认为是在法律范围内对残疾的理解带来“范式转变”方面的革命性举措。CRPD 从残疾的医学模型（关注个人的局限性）转向残疾的社会模型（关注社会障碍以及如何减轻这些障碍以更好地促进残疾人的权利。）尼尔森正确地指出CRPD 方法的大部分独创性在于其对平等待遇和非歧视的关注（第 12-14 页）。残疾人仍然受到歧视的领域之一是强制心理健康治疗。大多数国内心理健康法律仍然使用社会心理残疾的存在来证明强迫行为是正当的。这包括个人拒绝专业人士认为他们需要的治疗，并且此人要么缺乏决策能力，要么存在自我伤害、伤害他人、健康严重恶化或这些因素组合的风险（第 45-49 页） ）。因此，主导 CRPD 实施的问题之一是，根据 CRPD，强制治疗是否以及何时是合理的。健康严重恶化或这些因素的组合（第 45-49 页）。因此，主导 CRPD 实施的问题之一是，根据 CRPD，强制治疗是否以及何时是合理的。健康严重恶化或这些因素的组合（第 45-49 页）。因此，主导 CRPD 实施的问题之一是，根据 CRPD，强制治疗是否以及何时是合理的。
